Re: NHS Dentists

Re: NHS Dentists
 

no,but is there not a hospital dentist in blackburn? accy have one, to the best of my knowledge.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

Have been to emergency dentist today but thats only a short term solution. I really do need my own dentist just struggling finding one.

Do you know the name of that one flashy?

Re: NHS Dentists
 

Try Oaklea (or it could be Oakleigh) in Ossy.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

central dental practice i think

its got a lot of foreign dentists there

Re: NHS Dentists
 

Or don't....if you'd like to keep all your own teeth and not be in agony.

I've said this before on another thread. Two of my family had treatment there by foreign dentists who didn't seem to know what to do. It used to be a top place years ago but I wouldn't advise anyone to go there now. :(

Re: NHS Dentists
 

If you call NHS Direct on 0845 46 47 they have a service which should be able to tell you which practices are taking on new patients.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

I would ask your Mum's neighbour a story about that one.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

i would nt go to the central dental practice .im with them and in the process of changing it.not child friendly ,nor gentle with there treatments

Re: NHS Dentists
 

My dentist went private 4 years ago, since when it has cost me over £1000 for treatment, just another stealth tax:cool:

Re: NHS Dentists
 

mine also,they wanted me to pay to stay on there books, so i politely said " Get Stuffed" aint paying regular,its stupidity from my point of view having " False Teeth":(

Re: NHS Dentists
 

I'm really surprised you say that.

We struggled getting into a dentist for month's and month's. We finally got into this one in ossy, and I think they are brilliant ( mine is anyway ) She is very thorough. She was great with my 2 kids, took her time and really made them at ease.
I am petrified of the dentist but she was great with me too. I had a filling and she never hurt me once. Mine is called Catrina...like I said, not sure what the others in the dentist are like, but she is worth her weight in gold.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

Im surprised too, always found them good even if they are foreign, i have lovely Miguel, he succeeded where other dentists failed getting rid of roots that should of been taken out years ago, even hospital dentist didnt do anything yet despite the pain, Miguel sorted me out without a problem & really makes sure u are ok, constantly making sure u are too throughout:D They are brill if u need emergency treatment very accommodating indeed.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

Oh well at least it aint just me then :D

I would recommend them to anyone.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

I don't know how many dentists are working there but suffice it to say that there are two of them who are butchers. :(

I'm glad to hear that there is someone there who knows what they are doing but I have never been scared of the dentist and after what happened to my mum and my husband with two different dentists I don't feel like I dare trust anyone else there.

My husband doesn't know the name of the woman dentist he saw, it was the first time he'd seen her and she didn't speak good English so he couldn't make out a lot of what she was saying.

It was a man called Kurkowski (sp) who made a mess of my mum.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

Catrina, my dentist, speaks very good English so it aint her who your hubby saw. I have only seen her, so not sure who you mean...me, hubby and kids are all with same person.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

We all used to be with Mr Parry until he left to go private. We never had any problems at all with the place until he left. Then it all went wrong.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

I thought you would have always been private :rolleyes:

Re: NHS Dentists
 

I remember I had to go for an emergency extraction one sunday 9 years ago. I was 8 month pregnant with my youngest son. I am petrified of dentist, and was shaking like a bloody leaf.
I saw a lady ( not sure of her name ) and I think she was more scared than me, though she was scared to death I was gonna give birth in her chair lol. She was fantastic with me. she put some gel on before the injection, so even that didn't hurt!! She was a real star!!

so when we got allocated into this dentist, I was chuffed to bits. I was talking to a friend of mine a couple of days before I had my appointment.
she said she was in this dentist, and hers was quite rough with her.....needless to say, night before my appointment, was a sleepless one :o But I had my filling, and everything was great. Which is a relief. AND I'm happy to say, they still use the pre-injection gel :D

Re: NHS Dentists
 

I once had to go to Accy vic emergency dentist.......NOW THEY ARE bloody butchers!! NEVER AGAIN :eek::mad:

Re: NHS Dentists
 

You big soft arse :tongueout

Re: NHS Dentists
 

HEY, I'm not denying it!! I'd rather give birth than go dentist :o

Re: NHS Dentists
 

im at central dental practice near morrisons, and have found them great , had no problems at all been great with my son, who has had to have 4 teeth taken out due to needing a brace which they have sent him along to the orthadontist, i can honestly say ive been treated realy well as i am sooooooooo nervous of dentists they have made me feel realy at ease, better than the ones on the bottom of preston new rd, who said i needed most of my teeth taken out !!!! which is not the case at all

Re: NHS Dentists
 

LOL .

Re: NHS Dentists
 

Never had anythng private Neil not even my private life:D

Re: NHS Dentists
 

been going to that dentist for a year, had various fillings in my mouth and felt no pain whatsoever, maria my dentist is check and she is brilliant , very nice dentist

Re: NHS Dentists
 

do you still want me to try get u and boys on at mine? bit of a trek but they are really good.....

Re: NHS Dentists
 

which dentist is everyone saying is rubbish?

Re: NHS Dentists
 

oaklea....but i think it's good.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

Well I think Oaklea is good as well or I wouldn't have recommended it in the first place.

When I went after I'd chipped my tooth they were great with me and fixed it up nicely. Only cost £16 which I thought was reasonable - expected it to be more like £30.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

I had a chip in my tooth too. They fixed mine up nicely as well.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

im with oaklea too and i have no problems eitherAttachment 10821

Re: NHS Dentists
 

Ill give them a call, will go anywhere at the mo though

Re: NHS Dentists
 

Where is the Rindypotamus when you need him to tell his dentist story?

Re: NHS Dentists
 

Where is he anyway?? thought he was only going for a week?? it's surly longer than that now.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

I seem to remember Garinda having a horror story about Oakleigh too.

You can only speak as you find. It is good to hear that others have had no problems with the dentists there. They can't all be bad then. I only spoke up because two members of my family had botched work done at Oakleigh by two different dentists.

Personally, my trust in the place has been shot. That's all I'm saying.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

I'm not happy. After our horrible experiences at Oakleigh in Ossy we decided to leave the practice and have registered our family at Antley Villa. They only do private now so it's £11 a month for hubby and me but the kids go free. I didn't want to have to do this but, like I said, my confidence in Oakleigh has gone.

Hubby went for a check up at Antley Villa today. The dentist there examined the work he'd had done at Oakleigh and declared it to be a right old botch up. :mad:

He'd had work done to a chipped tooth at Oakleigh but it was not packed properly, bacteria are getting in and it's going bad. It's going to take 1hr and a half and cost £146 to make right.

I don't mind paying for work but it's got me mad that we are having to fork out twice. We paid for Oakleigh to fix the problem, they messed up and he was in a lot of pain.Now we are having to pay again to correct their shoddy work. :mad:

Re: NHS Dentists
 

Re: NHS Dentists
 

Thanks for that, Bonnyboy. We will definitely be looking into that.

He's going to ring Oakleigh first and see what they have to say.

Re: NHS Dentists
 

I would just get my complaint in Lilly, no phone call or anything!!
